Array Lesson Plan

- This lesson plan is for a Year 2 math class about arrays. - Students will use objects, diagrams and technology to explore arrays and recognize that multiplication can be represented as repeated addition, groups and arrays. - The lesson will begin with a daily math problem and introduction to arrays. Students will then use a smart board to model arrays and how they represent multiplication. - Students will play an array game in pairs, using grids to represent arrays and practice forming multiplication sentences. They will also complete array puzzles in groups. - The lesson will conclude with students forming a large class array and reflecting on what they have learned about arrays.

LESSON SEQUENCE

Lesson Content / Indicators of Timing Teaching Strategies / Learning Experiences: Resources and
Learning (mins) (How it is taught) Organisation:

I INTRODUCTION

1 min Go over smart rules. Set expectation of students. Ss sitting on the floor infront
of smartboard.

5 mins Launch – daily 10. T is to go set learning intentions:


We Are Learning To: Does anyone know what an Smart board
array is? What I’m Looking For, This Is Because.

DEVELOPMENT

5 -10 Explaining arrays: Smart board


Ss are observing using technology mins An array is organising objects into rows and
(smarboard) to discover how an columns to represent groups of numbers.
array can represent how numbers Move box to clearly display rows and columns.
can be grouped, and how this can Next slide: use the example array and the ways we
be turned into a multiplication can explain it.
formula MA1-2WM Teacher is to circle the rows for students to see Smart board: slide with
there are (4 rows of 3 = 12) then rub out and circle columns/ rows
columns to show there are (3 columns of 4 = 12)
Next slides: as a class, fill in the blanks.

ACTIVITIES:
CORE:
Array game: Students play in pairs. The array game grid

Australian Catholic University 2 2014


Each player is given a 10x10 grid. Each player rolls Die
Ss are using both mental strategies 2 die and colours in necessary areas on grid. Each Colour pencils
and concrete materials to discover roll is to be coloured in a different colour. (E.g.
how arrays and their times tables student rolls a 2 and a 4, so they shade a 2x4 array
are relative to this activity MA1-6NA on their grid; they can choose to make it 2x4 or
4x2.)

25 mins The student who fills their grid in first wins. When
finished, students are to label each array with a
number and write the rows and columns of each
array on their grid at the bottom of the page. (E.g.
there are 2 rows of 4 and 4 columns of 2, there are
8 squares all together.) When students are finished Maths books
they are to glue it into their maths books.

Ss are using concrete materials to ADJUSTED: Array puzzles! (See attachment) Array puzzles
demonstrate how arrays show Ss in a group with T. T is to demonstrate and
groups of numbers, by explicitly teach the first puzzle – how to match each
understanding the amount of rows set together and explain why. Ss are then to try and
by the amount of columns gives the work together in pairs to solve some more array
total answer MA1-6NA puzzles. Ss may progress to working independently.

CLOSURE

5 mins Ss are to make a class array (8x3) by standing in


rows/ columns.
Class discussion: What do you know about arrays?
What is something new that you learnt?
